Depends what you mean by 100% the same name. They all originally come from John (so have the same meaning), and are generally pronounced the same.
They are all anglicised versions of Seán- an Irish form of John, though while Sean is considered English and Irish in usage, Shaun and Shawn are just considered English.
Of course, they are all spelt differently.
You can type names into the top of the search bar to find out more about them.
